Here’s how to let them go.
You never know the day your world is going to start crumbling. You wake up, just like any other day, and start going about your business. And then a moment happens. Maybe it’s a phone call, or a knock on the door or a news alert or the sound of brakes or a horn before […]

You can be a caregiver and also care for yourself. There’s a look that comes over caregivers that allows us to spot one another – it’s the look of exhaustion.

Let’s agree that marriage isn’t easy. It’s a lesson in compromise, trust, patience, and perseverance. I’m not sure if most people really consider their marriage vows – in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer. My marriage to my second husband tested this to its limits. I met Greg on Match.com and we […]

Twenty-three years ago, my first-born child, Connor, died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. He was born in April and I’ll always remember how incredibly significant that first Mother’s Day was for me. Little did I know at the time that the next Mother’s Day I would be hiding in my house with a torrent of […]
